Central Valley Region Costa Rica Real Estate

Strikingly beautiful with a mild and dry climate all year round, it is no wonder that Costa Rica’s Central Valley is where over two-thirds or 70% of the population resides. San Jose Metro Area, the Central Valley or "Meseta Central" covers a large portion of the interior of Costa Rica. Lush and green with many plantations, farming is one of the main occupations here, as the soil in the area is very fertile and rich in minerals from the presence of the two active volcanoes: Irazu Volcano and Poas Volcano.

More than just a sightseeing stunning area, Costa Rica's Central Valley has a lot to offer in terms of arts and culture. In this region you can find the oldest church still in use in the country, the San Jose Church in Orosi (Cartago) which was built in 1734.

Nestled in the heart of the gorgeous and fertile Central Valley, San Jose is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Central America. A typical Latin American metropolis with overcrowded conditions, traffic, smog and congestion, this city still manages those settings to raise up above all this, to offer a charm that is uniquely distinct. If you look carefully you will find a vibrant city emerging with a lot to offer, both in terms of culture and spirit.

A great place to use as a base while exploring Costa Rica is San Jose. Today, San Jose has its attractions with world class gourmet restaurants, museums, theaters, cinemas and a lively nightlife. Another popular feature in the Metropolitan area is that of foreigners and tourists learning Spanish.
